The question of adequate water supply
for cities and villages is one that is re
ceiving greater attention year by year.
This is Il matter the Importance of which
cannot be oyer-estimatcd. Pure water
and plenty of it is one of the first requi-
sites of healthful occupation of place
by any considerable number of inhabi-
tants. A few years ago only our larger
cities INDUCED in the luxury of water
works, now our smaller cities and larger
villages are following their example ut
lively gait. No village or city can afford
to get along without the best attainable
water supply.

The granting of a charter to a new wa
ter company at Bar Harbor has been the
question that has created greater interest
than any question before the legislature
thus far. A company has been at work
under a legislative charter there for some
six years owned principally by the Rhode
family who have large hotel and are
large owners of real estate. The pro-
posed Eden Water Company claim that
the supply is inadequate and ask II char
ter to take water from Eagle Lake, fine
body of water situated high among the hills.
The old company very naturally object
to this competition and have employed
able counsel to fight it and the new com
pany come up to the scratch with equally
able counsel. Several days were used up in
the hearings and the arguments by George
C. Yeaton Esq. of Berwick for the old
company and Hon o ID. Baker for the
proposed company were submitted Fri
day afternoon last.
